  <strong>About Pligg</strong>
</h2>
  <strong>Pligg,</strong> originally named <a href="http://meneame.net/">menéame</a> in
  Spanish, is a web application that allows you to submit an article that will be reviewed by
  all and will be promoted, based on popularity, to the main page. When a user submits a news
  article it will be placed in the "unpublished" area until it gains sufficient votes to be
  promoted to the main page. The original source for Pligg was authored by <a href=
  "http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fmnm.uib.es%2Fgallir%2F&amp;langpair=es%7Cen&amp;hl=en&amp;ie=UTF8">

  AFFERO GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
</h2>
  <p>
    Version 1, March 2002<br />
    <br />
    Copyright © 2002 Affero Inc.<br />
    510 Third Street - Suite 225, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA
  </p>
  <p>
    This license is a modified version of the GNU General Public License copyright (C) 1989,
    1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc. made with their permission. Section 2(d) has been added
    to cover use of software over a computer network.<br />
    <br />
    Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but
    changing it is not allowed.<br />
    <br />
    Preamble<br />
    <br />
    The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change
    it. By contrast, the Affero General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to
    share and change free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This
    Public License applies to most of Affero's software and to any other program whose authors
    commit to using it. (Some other Affero software is covered by the GNU Library General
    Public License instead.) You can apply it to your programs, too.<br />
    <br />
    When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. This General Public
    License is designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free
    software (and charge for this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get
    it if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free
    programs; and that you know you can do these things.<br />
    <br />
    To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you these
    rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictions translate to certain
    responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify
    it.<br />
    <br />
    For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you
    must give the recipients all the rights that you have. You must make sure that they, too,
    receive or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their
    rights.<br />
    <br />
    We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2) offer you this
    license which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the
    software.<br />
    <br />
    Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain that everyone
    understands that there is no warranty for this free software. If the software is modified
    by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to know that what they have is not
    the original, so that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
    authors' reputations.<br />
    <br />
    Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We wish to avoid
    the danger that redistributors of a free program will individually obtain patent licenses,
    in effect making the program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
    patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.<br />
    <br />
    The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow.<br />
    <br />
    <strong>TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION</strong><br />
    <br />
    0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice placed by the
    copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of this Affero General Public
    License. The "Program", below, refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the
    Program" means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to
    say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with
    modifications and/or translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is
    included without limitation in the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as
    "you".<br />
    <br />
    Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this
    License; they are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is not restricted, and
    the output from the Program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
    Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). Whether that is true
    depends on what the Program does.<br />
    <br />
    1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you receive
    it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy
    an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices
    that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other
    recipients of the Program a copy of this License along with the Program.<br />
    <br />
    You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your
    option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.<br />
    <br />
    2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus forming a
    work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the
    terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:<br />
    <br />
    * a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that you changed
    the files and the date of any change.<br />
    <br />
    * b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part
    contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at
    no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.<br />
    <br />
    * c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run, you must cause
    it, when started running for such interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or
    display an announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there
    is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may
    redistribute the program under these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of
    this License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does not normally print
    such an announcement, your work based on the Program is not required to print an
    announcement.)<br />
    <br />
    * d) If the Program as you received it is intended to interact with users through a
    computer network and if, in the version you received, any user interacting with the Program
    was given the opportunity to request transmission to that user of the Program's complete
    source code, you must not remove that facility from your modified version of the Program or
    work based on the Program, and must offer an equivalent opportunity for all users
    interacting with your Program through a computer network to request immediate transmission
    by HTTP of the complete source code of your modified version or other derivative
    work.<br />
    <br />
    These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that
    work are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and
    separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
    sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same
    sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Program, the distribution of the
    whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to
    the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.<br />
    <br />
    Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work
    written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the
    distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Program.<br />
    <br />
    In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the Program (or
    with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not
    bring the other work under the scope of this License.<br />
    <br />
    3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in
    object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you
    also do one of the following:<br />
    <br />
    * a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must
    be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for
    software interchange; or,<br />
    <br />
    * b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third
    party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a
    complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under
    the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange;
    or,<br />
    <br />
    * c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute
    corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution
    and only if you received the program in object code or executable form with such an offer,
    in accord with Subsection b above.)<br />
    <br />
    The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to
    it. For an executable work, complete source code means all the source code for all modules
    it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
    control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a special exception,
    the source code distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in
    either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of
    the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies
    the executable.<br />
    <br />
    If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy from a
    designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same
    place counts as distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
    compelled to copy the source along with the object code.<br />
    <br />
    4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as expressly
    provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or
    distribute the Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this
    License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License
    will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full
    compliance.<br />
    <br />
    5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However,
    nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Program or its derivative
    works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
    modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the Program), you indicate your
    acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying,
    distributing or modifying the Program or works based on it.<br />
    <br />
    6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), the recipient
    automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute or modify
    the Program subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
    restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not
    responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to this License.<br />
    <br />
    7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any
    other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by
    court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they
    do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to
    satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent
    obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Program at all. For example,
    if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all
    those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could
    satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the
    Program.<br />
    <br />
    If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular
    circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply and the section as a whole is
    intended to apply in other circumstances.<br />
    <br />
    It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other
    property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this section has the sole
    purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
    implemented by public license practices. Many people have made generous contributions to
    the wide range of software distributed through that system in reliance on consistent
    application of that system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
    to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that
    choice.<br />
    <br />
    This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of
    the rest of this License.<br />
    <br />
    8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain countries either
    by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the
    Program under this License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation
    excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not
    thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the
    body of this License.<br />
    <br />
    9. Affero Inc. may publish revised and/or new versions of the Affero General Public License
    from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but
    may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.<br />
    <br />
    Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies a version
    number of this License which applies to it and "any later version", you have the option of
    following the terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version published
    by Affero, Inc. If the Program does not specify a version number of this License, you may
    choose any version ever published by Affero, Inc.
  </p>
  <p>
    You may also choose to redistribute modified versions of this program under any version of
    the Free Software Foundation's GNU General Public License version 3 or higher, so long as
    that version of the GNU GPL includes terms and conditions substantially equivalent to those
    of this license.
  </p>
  <p>
    10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs whose
    distribution conditions are different, write to the author to ask for permission. For
    software which is copyrighted by Affero, Inc., write to us; we sometimes make exceptions
    for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all
    derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software
    generally.<br />
    <br />
    NO WARRANTY<br />
    <br />
    11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM,
    TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE
    COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY
    KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
    MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND
    PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE
    COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.<br />
    <br />
    12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY
    COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS
    PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL
    OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING
    BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
    YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN
    IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.<br />
